We appreciate the heads-up, Phil. That is courageous of you - it serves to remove a lot of the initial awkwardness that some people feel when facing evident physical disability. Forewarned being forearmed, so to speak. As you know, I too have come to know a thing or two about navigating life with a very obvious physical disability. You'very made everyone's life easier in dealing with your illness by being up front about it, so thanks for that. Best to dispell the inevitable rumours anyways...
All the very best, Phil. I hope that the new year brings you physical relief along with continued prosperity for your family!
